Incoming Server Type: Server Name: Port:
IMAP imap.emailsrvr.com 143
IMAP with SSL secure.emailsrvr.com 993
POP3 pop.emailsrvr.com 110
POP3 with SSL secure.emailsrvr.com 995

WARNING: When using IMAP, do not edit an existing email account. You must use the Add a new email account feature or you will lose your current email.
 
Outgoing servers require SMTP authentication. Microsoft Outlook users will need to manually enable this feature.

Email Setup: Initial Setup

To complete the initial setup of your email account(s) in our system, please send a list of desired mailboxes and passwords to customer support.
 
NOTE: Each mail box comes with a 25 GB storage capacity. Attachments greater than 50 MB in size cannot be sent through our mail server. 

Example:

  1. you@yourdomain.com - yourpassword
  2. someoneelse@yourdomain.com - herpassword
  3. anotherperson@yourdomain.com - hispassword

Password Requirements:

  1. Cannot be “password”
  2. Cannot contain domain name
  3. Cannot contain your user name, which is always your email address
  4. Cannot contain a numeric sequence more than 3 characters
  5. Must be at least 6 characters long
NOTE: Because passwords are case sensitive, be sure to type your password exactly as you would like it entered.
 
Although initial account setup is usually completed within 1 business day, due to domain name propagation, you may not have access to your email account(s) for up to 3 business days from the time of your order.
